The left (media, politicians, friends, my wife) have been very quiet regarding the abortion in the white house. They know what a shitbag he is but they stay very quiet about it. Never admit to being wrong, right?

I don't see him a liar as much as he's a manipulative politician who uses ideas about his "strongly held beliefs" about equality and fairness to mask his true nature, which is an egomaniac who truly believes his purpose in Washington is to leave a public service legacy that will stand the test of time rather than do any actual, tangible governing. Not every leader needs to be (or is even capable of being) a bastion of hope and progress. Mr. Obama should subscribe to the late James Buchanan's philosophy: politics without romance. In other words.. Just do your fricking job.
